Howdy. Not long until you're off to the 'United States of Awesomeness'!

To assist you on your trip we've created this online portal for you to see who you will be travelling with; connect with people you meet along the way; access the latest information from the destinations you will be visiting and be alerted to any itinerary updates.

Below are some tips to help you navigate around the site.

My Profile: if you haven't already updated your profile picture and biography this is where you do it. Some other helpful tools for you to use in My Profile are: Add New Album - here you can upload the fantastic photos you'll be taking along the way. This is a great way for the travel agents who are on a different famil to you to get a feel for your destination and you theirs. Add Travel Plans; do you have any other cool trips coming up? Add them to your own personal map so others can see where you're heading to next. They might have some great tips for you. To add a new album or travel plan click on Edit My Profile first.

Ausmerica Itinerary: click on the different destinations to see who is going where. You can also see the different activities organised for each of the famil trips.

My Inbox: Keep an eye on your inbox as your hosts will use this to message you with important information or changes to your itinerary. You can also use it to reach out to the other travel agents or if you need to ask your hosts any questions.

Follow: Forget collecting business cards. Where ever you see a Follow button it connects you to people you meet along the way and they will be added to My Network; which acts as your own little black book. You can find the Follow button when you click into people's profiles.

Use the search field at the top of the site to search for people, companies or information. ie. if you search for Qantas you will find brochures, photos, press releases, videos and the company representative contact details.

Information will constantly be flowing into the Info Centre so use it as your one stop shop for the latest brochures, press releases and videos on the destinations you'll be visiting.

Have a wonderful trip.
